Gate lock and Photon

[rickkas7]

As long as it supports the Wiegand protocol it should be compatible.

While the Photon is a 3.3V device, all of the pins (except for DAC and A3) are 5V tolerant, so you can feed the output from the prox card reader directly into the device.

This is not true for Gen 3 (Argon/Boron/Xenon) so you'll need some level shifting there.

The code to decode the signals is here (you only need the first example, the reader):

[SOLVED] Using wireless to eliminate wiegand wiring

I must emphasize that I whipped this up quickly this afternoon and there might be bugs. But it is sort of a proof of concept of this sort of thing. [image] The HID ProxPoint Plus reader is connected to the top Photon, which reads the Wiegand signals, decodes, and does a Particle.publish. The bottom left Photon subscribes to the events and reconstitutes the signal, which is read by the bottom right Photon. Reader code: #include "Particle.h" const int WIEGAND_D0_PIN = D2; // Green const int …
